Chapter 378 - The Elf Queen Appears! Shadow Power!

"Since you plan to continue living here, I won't force you. I'll be going first."

Lin Tian said indifferently, not forcing the matter.

He headed toward the teleportation point he had established.

Teleporting back to Goblin King City was much more convenient than flying there himself.

Veronica stared at Lin Tian's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh, "Truly incredible. That goblin who once knelt before me so weak and powerless, now... has become someone I must look up to."

It felt as if her days of ruling the Great Tomb were just yesterday.

And today, that goblin was already capable of trampling the entire continent.

An indescribable sense of shock.

...

The new Goblin King City plaza was empty.

Even the entire palace was deserted.

Because no guards or servants had been recruited, it seemed particularly quiet.

Lin Tian emerged from the military city teleportation array, preparing to settle Luo Ai'er properly and then treat her.

But then he heard a stream of curses.

"Damn goblin! You're still alive? How surprising!"

He saw Harvier trapped in a cage, her eyes full of hatred.

Her once-pure body had already grown dim.

Unfortunately, her mouth still wouldn't behave.

Lin Tian couldn't help but stop, looking at her with amusement, "This surprises you? What if I told you that God is dead?"

Although she wasn't actually dead yet, if she couldn't get out, it was only a matter of time.

Hearing this.

Harvier couldn't help but mock, "Just you? Fantasizing about killing God? Are you joking? Hahahaha!"

Seeing her despicable behavior, Lin Tian directly rushed into the cage.

He gripped her delicate, exquisite face tightly, "Do you think I would joke?"

"Clang!"

As he spoke, he threw some armor seized from Verrin's Eden Garden room onto the ground.

Harvier, having served as an angel for over ten thousand years, naturally recognized this armor that God had worn. Her expression changed drastically, "Impossible! Lord God cannot be killed, cannot lose! How could you!"

"I can't kill her, but I have ways to imprison her forever."

Lin Tian's eyes were full of disdain as he prepared to leave.

However.

Harvier suddenly pounced forward, grabbing his leg, "Damn... no, Lord Goblin, please spare Lord God! I'm willing to do anything! I'm even willing to become your slave!"

For them, the meaning of living was to obey their faith.

Divine authority had unparalleled dominance in this era of closed information.

Lin Tian felt deeply disturbed.

Previously she had been a proud, noble, pure angel.

Because of faith, the next second she could personally say these words.

"Sorry, I'm tired of playing."

Lin Tian indifferently kicked her back and flew to the palace holding Luo Ai'er.

However.

Unexpectedly, he didn't see Alice, Goblin Moon, or the others.

Lin Tian couldn't help but frown, "Nine out of ten times something's wrong. Logically, they should all be quietly waiting to welcome me..."

This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Helplessly, he first settled Luo Ai'er, simply healing her external injuries and cleaning up her explosion-damaged hair from being electrocuted.

Because she had fainted from excessive magic consumption, the best situation was to wait for gradual recovery.

Using potions would be the same principle as healing magic - equivalent to overdrawing life.

Better not to use if possible.

She had already fainted from severe overdraft; continuing to overdraft would truly leave nothing.

"Strange, where are they? Looking at the city, it doesn't seem like enemies attacked either."

Lin Tian flew high in the air, puzzled.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from far away.

By the time it reached here, it was barely audible.

Lin Tian looked toward the sound and saw a mushroom cloud rising, estimated to be several kilometers away.

Clearly outside Goblin City.

He hurriedly flew over to see what had happened, suspecting invasion by people from the major divine courts.

Because looking at the entire world, they were the greatest threat.

However, when Lin Tian quickly arrived, he was stunned by what he saw below.

Alice, One-Eyed Owl, Goblin Moon, Goblin Mad, as well as Georgia, Osius, and others.

They were all here training frantically.

"If only I could be stronger! Your Majesty, you must return safely!"

Alice frantically swung the Ominous Blade, so fast it created flashing light and shadow!

Very shocking!

One-Eyed Owl was also frantically charging and bombarding, his aura faintly revealing golden light!

That was the highest stage among strength-type professions.

Goblin Moon couldn't wait for her own awakening and was trying to activate various mythic-level support magic on the side.

Currently, her maximum was using mythic-level twice.

Goblin Sky was training his assassination abilities, while Goblin Good practiced new evil bone manipulation methods.

As for Goblin Mad.

He didn't know how to become stronger, just kept attacking mountains and the ground.

Using full force every time.

Watching everyone, Lin Tian's voice rang out, "Everyone..."

Almost instantly, everyone stopped in unison and locked their gazes on Lin Tian!

Immediately changing from shock to joy!

"Your Majesty?!"

Alice's body trembled, and her tightly suspended heart finally relaxed.

One-Eyed Owl forced a smile, but tears could be seen faintly glistening, too happy to speak.

Goblin Moon was even more excited, rushing forward, wishing she could hug Lin Tian tightly right now and never let go.

But after trying to jump a few times, she awkwardly lowered her hands.

Because she couldn't fly.

Lin Tian looked at her dotingly, slowly landing and embracing her, "What's this? Are you all exercising to digest after eating? I wondered why I didn't see anyone."

"Boss! We thought you weren't coming back! Wuwuwu!"

Goblin Mad rushed over with tears and snot, also wanting a loving hug.

But he was held back by Goblin Good and Goblin Sky, "Hey hey, don't trouble our boss."

Georgia and Osius stared in amazement, circling around Lin Tian, "It's really Brother Tian! Not a returning ghost! How, how is this possible!"

The reason they were all so grief-stricken and determined was that they thought Lin Tian's chances of returning were too low. For people living in the wilderness, God was a supreme existence - they didn't dare even have blasphemous thoughts.

Yet Lin Tian had returned alive, completely overturning their understanding!

"Stop being surprised. Currently, your training methods have negligible improvement effects."

Lin Tian looked at everyone with some emotion.

Alice was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Then... Your Majesty, what should we do? Your pace is truly too fast, I simply cannot catch up..."

"Right, back then you were just a little guy I could discipline. Now... it's not that I can't, but it depends on the timing."

One-Eyed Owl said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Everyone perked up their ears, wanting to know what to do.

Lin Tian took a deep breath, "As for methods, as long as we don't cause trouble, we can get a long period of development time, enough to forge a complete set of god-slaying armor and weapons for everyone. That's one way to improve.

Additionally, once I become a deity and can create a divine court after obtaining godhood, you'll all become deities too, gaining extremely high improvements."

According to estimates, after these two waves of combat power improvements.

Each person could increase by at least 30,000 combat power, enough to reach sub-god level, even top-tier sub-god.

By then, they'd have the qualifications to negotiate with any divine court.

Hearing this, everyone was full of anticipation.

Lin Tian's expression suddenly became more serious. Developing this way, they'd have to wait for all the god-slaying armor and weapons to be forged first.

Then proceed to devour deities and advance.

Otherwise, if they targeted those weaker deities now, it could trigger devastating warfare at any time.

There wouldn't be enough time to forge armor and magical tools.

Everyone returned to the palace.

With their worries relieved, they naturally wanted to rest and celebrate.

Midnight.

Luo Ai'er slowly awakened, seeing the familiar bed and environment, and hurriedly ran out.

She saw Lin Tian, Goblin Moon, and others drinking and eating meat in the plaza.

"Lord Xiya! Great, Lord Xiya! I almost thought I'd never see you again!"

Luo Ai'er excitedly ran over, spreading her arms for a hug with Goblin Moon.

However, she still had a layer of black soot from being electrocuted that hadn't been wiped off.

This scared Goblin Moon into backing away repeatedly, "Boss, where did this monster come from?"

Lin Tian shrugged, "I don't know either. What do you all think?"

"Hahaha! Luo Ai'er, look at your face, it's like a chimney sweep!"

One-Eyed Owl laughed loudly without any restraint.

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Including those stellar-level adventurers.

Facing these mocking voices, even Goblin Moon was laughing uncontrollably.

No matter what, Luo Ai'er was still a girl. A strong sense of grievance welled up, tears spinning in her eyes, "Don't laugh! Lord Xiya, even you... wuwu!"

"Alright, alright, everyone hold back. Without Lady Luo Ai'er this time, we truly couldn't have defeated God. Her strength could be called incredibly powerful!"

Lin Tian's tone suddenly became serious.

He told everyone about God Verrin's ability demonstrations.

Hearing this.

Even Alice was shocked, "My God, such a gap... is this a God King? No wait, compared to other divine courts, she seems only comparable to top-tier sub-gods, otherwise she wouldn't be governing the wilderness..."

"No wonder everyone worships God - you really can have whatever you want!"

One-Eyed Owl said, unable to help making a cross gesture on his chest.

While everyone was chatting happily.

A black shadow quietly appeared on the palace rooftop.

A black cloud briefly blocked the moonlight in the sky. When moonlight fell again, the shadow had disappeared.

Even the usually sharp Alice didn't notice.

Only Leah, who was drinking, suddenly paused, her beautiful eyes alertly searching around.

The moonlight was weak, and elves didn't have night vision, making it very difficult to find things at night.

But Leah suddenly stood up seriously, "Everyone, wait, someone's coming..."

"Really?"

Alice immediately grabbed the Ominous Blade, surveying the surroundings, but found nothing and sensed nothing.

Even Goblin Sky, who had sensing abilities, shook his head, "Lady Leah, you might be too nervous."

"Right, besides the major divine courts, who else would dare come here with ill intent?"

One-Eyed Owl didn't pay much attention, continuing to drink and boast.

Leah was quiet for a moment before finally speaking, "If I'm not mistaken, they're from our Elf Kingdom, and moreover, high-ranking officials or even the king."

Shadow power.

Her family's former exclusive power - she was all too familiar with it.

Others couldn't detect it, but she could clearly sense it from far away.

"Unexpectedly, Goblin Majesty, you also have our elves here, and it seems her status is very high. I'm very gratified..."

In the darkness.

Two figures suddenly appeared, just materializing from thin air!

Perfect figures, and their appearances were beyond words.

Every elf seemed like a creation of the goddess of beauty, extraordinarily stunning.

Lin Tian immediately recognized Rita, "It's you? And who is this beside you?"

Rita respectfully bowed, "This is the current queen of our Elf Kingdom, Goblin Majesty. We've come to fulfill our promise - our queen will personally offer the power of shadows to you."

Lin Tian looked at the elf queen in a black-purple dress, her face slightly pale and sickly.

He couldn't help but feel amazed!

Usually, elves gave the impression of pure beauty, like flawless jade, similar to angels.

But this elf queen was like a piece of jade that had settled at the river bottom, stained with other colors, but was the most unique piece.

You could tell at a glance she was different from others.

Pure beauty tinged with threads of evil, tainted beauty.

"Your Majesty the Queen, seeing you is better than hearing about you. You are much more beautiful than I imagined."

Lin Tian slowly stood up, speaking formally.

Seeing this.

The elf queen hurriedly bowed, "Goblin Majesty need not be so formal. I... cannot compare to you at all. You have sufficient strength and wisdom to lead your people and close friends step by step toward higher places, free from oppression and threats!"

"Honestly, I very much envy your friends. If possible, I would also wish to follow you - then I wouldn't be so tired..."

Speaking, you could see the darkness and sorrow on the elf queen's face.

Despite such efforts, even nearly sacrificing her life.

She still couldn't change the elves' history. She had to rely on the goblins' fortune, otherwise she couldn't even die peacefully.

Lin Tian hurriedly replied politely, "Not at all, I was just lucky."

Rita was already in tears, "No! Goblin Majesty, we truly envy you! During the dark age of the elf race, those scenes were incredibly terrifying! Any race, any force came to plunder us, treating us like objects. If we had a leader like you, it's unimaginable how reassuring that would be..."

"Enough, enough! If you have business, say it quickly. Stop being so sentimental!"

One-Eyed Owl said irritably from the side.

There were already enough people coming, not enough to share.

If two more came following Lin Tian at once, wouldn't he have to fend for himself for ten days or half a month?

The elf queen came to her senses, "Oh right, this is the scroll of shadow power. I sincerely thank Goblin Majesty for all you have done."
